Durability-Based Redundancy Encoded Data Storage

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: identifying a rate of change of a data object, the data object being associated with a first plurality of redundancy encoded shards generated to provide the data object with a first durability; determining that the rate of change is below a predetermined threshold value; as a result of the rate of change being below the predetermined threshold value, generating, based on the data object and a redundancy encoding scheme, a second plurality of redundancy encoded shards to provide the data object with a second durability greater than the first durability; and storing the second plurality of redundancy encoded shards.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the redundancy encoding technique is a bundle encoding technique.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the redundancy encoding technique is a grid encoding technique.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the first plurality of redundancy encoded shards in a preliminary storage.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising delaying the generating of the second plurality of redundancy encoded shards for a period of time after the storing of the first plurality of redundancy encoded shards.

6. A system, comprising at least one computing device that implements one or more services to: monitor a rate of change of a data object, the data object having a first durability as a result of being associated with a first redundancy encoding scheme; determine that the rate of change is below a predetermined threshold value; as a result of the rate of change being below the predetermined threshold value, generate, based on the data object and a second redundancy encoding scheme, a second plurality of redundancy encoded shards to provide the data object with a second durability different than the first durability; and store the second plurality of redundancy encoded shards.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the services further determine a length of time to delay generating the second plurality of redundancy encoded shards.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the length of time is based at least in part on the rate of change of the data object.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the rate of change of the data object corresponds to a number of changes made to the data object while stored in a preliminary storage associated with the system.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the services further obtain the data object in connection with processing a storage request for the data object.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the storage request is received via a programmatic interface associated with the one or more services.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the second durability is defined in the storage request.

13. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first redundancy encoding scheme is implemented by a preliminary storage on which the data object is initially stored.

14. The system of claim 6 , wherein the second durability is greater than the first durability.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions that, as a result of execution by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least: determine that a rate of change of a data object is below a predetermined threshold value, the data object having a first durability as a result of being associated with a first redundancy encoding scheme; as a result of the rate of change of the data object being below the predetermined threshold value, generate, based on the data object and a second redundancy encoding scheme, a second plurality of redundancy encoded shards to provide the data object with a second durability different than the first durability; and store the second plurality of redundancy encoded shards.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, as a result of execution, further cause the computer system to monitor the rate of change of the data object for a period of time.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first redundancy encoding scheme is implemented by a data storage device.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the data storage device is a magnetic storage device.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first redundancy encoding scheme comprises storing the data object on two different systems.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the rate of change of the data object is associated with a length of time elapsed after the data object is initially stored.
